Hi All,

I did use the block of code below to open a notepad, However, I would like
to insert some data which I did collect in the runtime into the notepad
before it show. How can I do it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks you
very much in advance...

System.Diagnostics.Process myProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo pcInfo = new
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo( "Notepad.exe" );

pcInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

pcInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

myProcess.StartInfo = pcInfo;

myProcess.Start();

myProcess.WaitForExit();

myProcess.Close();
 
Hi,

What if you create a temp text file and pass it as a parameter?
You can use Path.GetTempfilename()
 
cql90,

What I would do is create a temporary file and then pass the path of
that file to the command line. Notepad should open it up and display the
contents.

Hope this helps.
 
I use this code to create an error string during processing and if it's
length is greater than 1 then I know it contains data and I write it to a
textfile. The user is then alerted and asked if they want to view the
errors. If they answer yes Notepad is spawned with the txt file that was
written a couple lines above it.





if (strError.Length > 1)

{

String strFilename = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory +
"DataImportErrorLog-" + ".txt";

TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(strFilename);

tw.WriteLine(strError);

tw.Close();

DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Errors occurred during the data
transfer. Would you like to view the Error Log now?", "Confirm",
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

if (result == DialogResult.OK)

{

Process.Start("Notepad.exe", strFilename);

}

}
 
Wonderful help from all of you, I am deeply appreciated. The data which I
did collect in the runtime base on User's action, therefore I would like to
send it directly to the notepad, so I can save a lot of round trip.
Otherwise, I have to create a file, write data to the file and then pass the
file name to ProcessStartInfo. Any ways, you guys are awesome. Thanks you
is not a good word for me to say. Take care and have a nice day...

Kate,

An alternative suggestion. Notepad is so simple it is reasonably easy
to create an equivalent text viewing form that you can load text into
from within your application, basically just a form with a menu bar
and a big multiline text box. There may even be something similar
lying around already.
